“I took my son to Dr.
Ilyas, who referred him to Nalhad Hospital in Noah.

Almost a week ago, Farhan was eight years old developing similar symptoms.
“He swelled his eyes and feet and died in two days,” his father said Mohammad Nasheem.

Chilli is home to 3,000 strange people and spot visits expressed by roads that are clogged with dirty water and mud.
All villages are filled with rotten stench.
The Ministry of Health said there was no drainage right in place and the supply of dirty water for drinking could be one reason for viral infections.
“Sanitation in the village is very bad.
The wrinkles are almost full, the water is contaminated and the waste line is broken.
It is possible that mosquitoes breed.
We have distributed nets and spraying chemicals.
The fogging team also works,” said Palwal head of a civilian surgeon Brahmdeep Singh.
Dr.
Amit Kumar, who was among the five health department officials who examined the village, said, “Samples for malaria, Covid and Dengue have been collected.

Simultaneously, Covid vaccination sessions have occurred in the village.
But, said officials, there were many doubts among the villagers.
“Nothing is vaccinated.
They ran to the farm and hid and did not come out until health officials left,” said Sarpanch Naresh.
